Raytheon UK has secured a contract from BAE Systems to supply its Landshield Plus GPS anti-jamming system for integration into the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle. The deal focuses on bolstering the platform’s defenses against increasingly sophisticated electronic interference, ensuring forces retain navigation reliability in contested battlespaces. Landshield Plus, introduced in 2019, combines an antenna with a powerful anti-jam processor, offering real-time monitoring of interference signals and pinpointing their origin. It can detect and counteract spoofing attempts that feed false GPS data to operators, thereby preventing adversaries from compromising operational accuracy. The system can neutralize interference from up to six jammers across both L1 and L2 frequency bands, the key GPS channels in military and civilian use. A unique advantage emerges when the system is deployed across multiple vehicles: the sensors form a collaborative network capable of triangulating interference sources, thus producing actionable battlefield intelligence in addition to providing self-protection. This feature transforms Landshield Plus from a purely defensive technology into a proactive tool for electronic situational awareness. Deliveries to the CV90 program are scheduled from 2025 through 2029, aligning with modernization cycles for the vehicle across European armies. Analysts highlight that this integration underscores the growing recognition of electronic warfare as a decisive factor in modern conflict. By ensuring vehicles like the CV90 can operate with reliable GPS guidance under hostile conditions, the system boosts NATO’s capacity to maneuver and strike effectively. The contract further reinforces Raytheon UK’s role as a key partner in advancing resilient defense technologies tailored for the modern digital battlefield.
